Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 1533 With the road cut off, Xiao Shen made up his mind (second update)

Chapter 1542

"My lord, what's wrong?" The frightened guard quickly stretched out his hand to support Xiao Shen and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine..." Xiao Shen shook his head, tried to stand still, read the letter full of Chi Guoguo's threatening words again, and then showed a bitter smile.

"Well, you Zhang Xiaojie, the old and immortal so-called thief, you are talking about... I really didn't expect that you would give the Song people such a poisonous trick..."

The guard next to him and the house slave stared blankly at the master who shook his head, smiled bitterly, and spoke bitterly.

Sitting blankly in the room, he slowly handed the letter written by Zhao Sui, the prefect of Yinzhou in the Song Dynasty, to the candle and lit it, and then watched it disappear into ashes in the rolling flames. Xiao Shen just grew up. He took a long breath and stood up.

"It seems that if there is no interruption, you will be subject to chaos. This sentence is indeed correct. When Zhang Xiaojie was my teacher in the past, he once said that my personality is too indecisive. Unfortunately, I have never paid much attention to it. Unexpectedly, today, If it is because of this..."

"Let's go, go back to the study. This official is the supervisor of the River East Road in Daliao. Before surrendering to Song Ting, this officer still has the final say on the River East Road."

Just when everyone was discussing, Xiao Shen appeared in the study again, his eyes swept over the Wenwu of Hedong Dao who were present.

"As for the surrender to Song Ting, how are you discussing?"

"Whether we surrender to Song Ting or not, we all think it's best to listen to your Majesty's instructions." Xiao Amo, an old driver, heard this and saw Yue Chuo's figure outside the door, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. He quickly saluted Xiao Shen and expressed his loyalty to Xiao Shen.

"What do you think?" Xiao Shen just nodded casually at this time and glanced at the eight civil and military figures in the study who had not yet expressed their opinions.

"The last general (lower official) would like to listen to your lord's instructions." Three generals and one civil official stood up and bowed to Xiao Shen.

The other four looked at each other, and one of them stood up as the representative and saluted Xiao Shen. "My lord, we are also willing to listen to your orders, but Song Guo is unwilling to agree to our request. If it is surrendered, it is better for us to stay in Beiliao. This..."

"Well, I understand what you mean. I have carefully weighed this point. Since this is the case..." Xiao Shen took a deep breath.

"Come here, invite these four adults to go out and give each of them a separate room, let them think about it carefully."

As soon as the words were finished, dozens of Khitan warriors with helmets and armor and knives out of their sheaths suddenly rushed in from the door, before the four of them could react, they directly took all the four officials hostage and dragged them outside.

The faces of the four changed drastically, and they hurriedly shouted loudly. "My lord, we are your confidantes, my lord, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender..."

Without even blinking his eyelids, Xiao Shen let those murderous warriors drag those four people out of the study room. After the screams of the four people stopped abruptly, a trace of indifference appeared on Xiao Shen's face. smile.

"My lords, since we want to surrender to Song Ting, what we need is a strong-willed hero. If there are too many people like them who are capricious and overthinking, I'm afraid we can't do anything. It's better to give them A joy."

"It just happened to give them the reputation of being loyal ministers of the Liao Dynasty. At least in this way, their relatives and family members in Liaotu will be freed from being implicated..."

Yelusigu saluted Xiao Shen, showing a grateful expression and said. "Your Excellency is indeed benevolent. At this time, you can still consider your subordinates, which makes the general admire you.

At this time, the general is worried that there will be some unwilling and rebellious officials and thieves who will harm the lord, so I also ask the lord to agree to let the general hand over the military power, and let the general become a guard next to the lord, willing to risk his life Guarantee the safety of adults. "

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the other generals brightened, they were not satisfied with the water and soil, so they obeyed this Yelusigu. In this way, Xiao Shen, the chief executive of the Hedong Road, should not kill himself and others. That's right, they also quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their loyalty to the calm Xiao Shen.

"Everyone, alas, how could you do this? I can't let you all stay by my side. In this way, how to arrange the surrender to Song Ting, but your words reminded me. Xianzhong, you come in..."

"Master!" A Khitan warrior with a helmet pierced through armor and powerful martial arts strode in and prostrated himself at Xiao Shen's feet.

"I want you to dispatch a battalion of troops to protect these five adults well, and don't let those gangsters with ulterior motives hurt these adults."

"Master, don't worry, we will always protect the safety of these lords, and we will definitely not let anyone harm these lords." Xiao Xianzhong clasped his fists heavily, gritted his teeth and said viciously.

These civil and military officers stared blankly at the head of Hedong Road in front of him. This Lord Xiao, who was obviously afraid of wolves and tigers a few days ago, hesitated to surrender to Song Ting, why did he suddenly become a different person? It seems that it has become so decisive.

It really makes people wonder if this guy is another person wearing Xiao Shen's human skin.Next, Xiao Shen signaled Xiao Xianzhong to leave the study, and motioned those civil and military personnel who had sworn allegiance to him to sit back, and then said.

"I really didn't expect that Wang Yang and Wang Wushan would be so powerful. Now that Ningbian Prefecture was broken by Song Ting, Jin Su's army and He Qing's army have also become dangerous. This is tantamount to stopping us from retreating to Xijing The way back."

"So at this time, late surrender is better than early surrender. No matter what, even if we can't get Song Ting to enshrine our wife and son, we can at least protect the soldiers and civilians in the south of Hedong Road. At least we have done a good deed for the people. "

"My lord is justified. If my lord can have such a benevolent heart, I believe that if the people of Hedong Road know about it, they will definitely be grateful..."

#####
Half an hour later, Yelusigu and Xiao Amo rode in a four-wheeled carriage. Under the escort of more than a hundred elite armored cavalry and a thousand cavalry, they left Xiazhou that night and headed towards the left wing army. Go to the Amitabha Cave,

And Yelu Zhongguang went to Xiangyou Junzhi to collect the troops so as not to have any conflicts with the Song people.

In the carriage, Yelusigu had a gloomy face, and communicated with Xiao Amo in a low voice.

"Just now when Xiao Shen went out, he must have received news that is not good for him. That is to say, if he does not surrender to Song Ting, there will be no way out. That's why his attitude and behavior suddenly changed..." Xiao Amo stroked his long beard and patiently explained to Yelusigu.

"Could it be that the matter in Ningbian Prefecture was not the main reason for Xiao Shen's painful decision?" Yelu Sigu was stunned, somewhat unbelievable.

"This is beyond what the old man can know..." Xiao Amo shook his head slowly. "As for the reason why Xiao Shen wants to kill those four people, besides their weak will, there is another big reason."
